DIN rail switch-mode power supplies of the TCL series enable even a parallel operation of up to 5 pcs, thus easily solving problems with an insufficient power at a possible extension of your application.

In the TracoPower TCL industrial power supplies series can be found 4 power lines – 24W, 60W, 120W and 240W, i.e. TCL024, TCL060, TCL120 and TCL240. They provide probably all, what we usually require from a good power source – reliability, high efficiency, good filtering resulting in a low ripple and noise, stable regulation even at variable load, shortcut and overload protection and other. TCL series features a very good price/ value ratio, while providing even further not very common benefits:

• possibility of a parallel operation, up to 5 units (except TCL240). For the most of applications it is naturally better to use 1 sufficiently rated power supply, but if you face the situation, that after adding new functional blocks has the power consumption of your device exceeded a limit of a given power supply, you can easily solve it by adding an another piece. It is mainly convenient if you already have certain types bought on your stock, thus immediately usable.
• wide input voltage range 85–264 VAC and a possibility to supply them even by a DC voltage in 85–375 VDC range (except TCL 240 series).
• adjustable output voltage. All models enable to continuously increase the output voltage up to + cca 15-25%.
•  ”Power OK” signal with a possibility of resistive and inductive load, usable for switching of relay and similar (only TCL060 and TCL120 series, at 12/24/48V).
• Screw detachable terminal blocks („plug-in“), or spring (screwless) terminal blocks, both enabling a very simple assembly in a distribution box.

All types are being delivered with a plastic adapter (holder) included, usable instead of a DIN-rail, for example for assembly to a panel, wall etc. TCL series has gained a lot of safety attests and complies with all common safety standards. Also available is the TCL-REM240 module for a redundant operation of any 2 models from the TCL series, by means of decoupling. Another usage of the TCL-REM240 module is for decoupling of sensitive loads from a common main source. Detailed information can be found in the Traco TCL datasheet and the TCL installation instructions. Selected types are available directly from our stock, upon request we´re able to provide you any other type.
